*I know this dress is red and the others are blue. But this dress was much cuter than the available blue dresses in this price range.
Unpaid Intern
This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
The middle dress is cute, but how would you pull it off with out looking like a sweet baby doll? I can picture wearing it when I was in my 20s and looking like I forgot I wasn't in elementary school anymore. If I wore it now at 37, I'd probably just look like I lost my mind. I'll concede it's probably to youthful for me now anyway, but even if I didn't think that, I'd be concerned about undermining my credibility at work.
I can see options 1 and 3 with a jacket or cardigan.
Or, maybe you meant it for the weekends anyway, and your tag line convention is skewing my perceptions?
I'm betting the best way is to really play up the accessories, shoes that aren't too sweet, maybe change the belt so it's not so matchy matchy. What I'm having a hard time with the second dress is that the model looks like a spoiled teenager who was forced by her mother to wear that dress, and it's a shame because I want to like the dress.
